New York Wouldn't Spend $500 Mil on Ventilators, Willing to Spend $500 Mil On Illegals

Several years ago, after learning that the Empire State’s stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than the 18,000 New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, state public-health leaders came to a fork in the road.
They could have chosen to buy more ventilators to back up the supplies hospitals maintain. Instead, the health commissioner, Howard Zucker, assembled a task force for rationing the ventilators they already had.
quote:
In 2015, the state could have purchased the additional 16,000 needed ventilators for $36,000 apiece, or a total of $576 million.
quote:
The just-introduced legislation by state Sen. Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan) would require Albany to cough up at least $532 million to allow undocumented adult residents to enroll in the state’s “Essential” or “Basic” public health-insurance plan.
Priorities.
Illegal aliens get health care. Americans die.

So all they need are tests, no ventilators?
Noted.

I wonder if other states made the same decision as NY.

Our politicians make decisions that do not put Americans first. This is a great example of that.

So they gave 500 million worth of health insurance to illegals instead of buying ventilators?
And now their deranged mayor is crying to POTUS to save them?
Silly Dems

The link in the article goes to a NYpost article from last year. The two dems proposed the legislation but it doesn’t look like it came close to passing.

They’d rather folks die so they can have a Willie Horton level gotcha ad on the Orange Man.

Liberals would rather American citizens die than admit they were wrong.
